Hit The Deck! Baseball’s tweetaholics are not so anonymous

Baseball has a long history of producing memorable quotes from players, managers, owners, fans and reporters. During the “old” days, we’d read these quotes in the paper or see them on video. With rare exception, these quotes were linked to a specific game, play or the game, generally. Now, with new media, we are able to get insight into their views on the world — beyond just baseball — all uncensored. Obscure players, reporters and fans have taken the baseball thread that binds us to become philosophers in their own right. This column will feature the best of the best (at least in my opinion) from current and former major league and minor league players. I encourage readers to make submissions, suggested follows, criticisms, etc.

On Travel:

Packing a suitcase and hitting the road can be entertaining, humorous, boring or all of the above. Here’s what some of my favorite tweeps had to say on the topic during the past few days.

@BarryEnright54 Barry Enright: Woke up this morning in a little haze. Didn’t remember where I was. Walked outside and felt humidity and snapped back to reality REAL quick

@str8edgeracer C.J. Wilson: [At Kansas City Airport during delay] Just overheard a guy on the phone say “he wasn’t really a drug dealer, just like a guy who knew where to go” lady across from me and I: LOL
